If the center safety belt cannot be
pulled out, the larger rear backrest

section is not engaged. Refer to
page

If the safety belt system has been
subjected to the stresses in-

volved in an accident or otherwise
damaged: have the entire safety belt
system replaced by your BMW center,
including the safety belt tensioner and
the child restraint system

. Have the

safety belt anchors checked also.

Child restraint systems

Never install a rear-facing child re-
straint system in the front passen-

ger seat. If you do so, the child could
be injured in an accident when the air-
bag is triggered. Do not modify the
child restraint system in any way. If you
do so, it will not provide your child with
maximum protection.

1 Front airbag for driver and front

passenger

2 Side Impact Head Protection System

(front and rear side

)

3 Side airbags (front and rear side

)

Protective effect

The front airbags supplement the three-
point safety belts by providing addi-
tional protection for the front-seat
occupants in the event of a severe
frontal collision in which the protection
afforded by the belts alone may no
longer be sufficient. The head protec-
tion and side airbags help provide pro-
tection in the event of a collision from
the side. Each of the side airbags is de-
signed to help support the upper body.

The side airbags in the rear pas-
senger area

of your vehicle may

already have been deactivated either at
the time of manufacture or by a BMW
center. You may have them activated if
you desire to do so. Please contact
your authorized BMW center for addi-
tional information.

The illustration depicts schematically
the primary directions of vehicle impact
that initiate an airbag deployment.
